"One October night as I stepped out on my porch to call my cat, a man grabbed me by the throat, dragged me inside, bound me and brutally beat me...The events of that evening took five hours; healing from the emotional trauma took eleven years..." - Linda Langstraat, Georgia

HOPE: True Stories of Answered Prayers

Edited by Sophie Lalazarian

Available as an e-book from Apple/ibooks and Amazon

"The Statue of Liberty gleamed in the brilliant sunshine outside our living room windows on the morning of September 11, 2001 . . .Nine months pregnant, I touched my stomach and thought about how the baby would arrive any day now. . . It was about a quarter to nine when I heard something outside. I went to my kitchen where through a narrow window I glimpsed a huge plume of smoke obscuring the twin towers of the World Trade Center. My first thought was this could not be possible. But it didn't stop. This wasn't a movie. This was real."
—Amy Chernoff, New York, N.Y.

"During the fall, life had two constants: church on Sunday mornings and football on Friday night. The minister had our respect but it was the coach and his 11 disciples who got our blind faith.
My goal, the one that seemed so impossible for a girl to achieve, was to be a real football player."
—Jodi Benson, Minnesota
